Summary
This is an animation of the 28 images of Saturn shown in <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saturnoppositions.jpg" title="File:Saturnoppositions.jpg">Saturnoppositions.jpg</a> (simulated views using a computer program written by Tom Ruen). This animation demonstrates the 29 year period for oppositions of Saturn and the dramatic changes in the appearance of the rings. Saturn's rings stay on a fixed axis, and we see the rings from both sides over one 29 year orbit of Saturn around the Sun. See source file for more info and references.
